Dear Marcelo

Another option would be to do a chemical substitution of one element far 
from the probed atom, for which you want to estimate EFG, in such a way 
to compensate the charge.

This will allow you to use hybrid. Indeed, EFG is a local probe and thus 
using a supercell with a reasonnable separation between the probe and 
the compensation charge element (10 angström) you will have relevant 
results.

Cheers

Xavier
